[Solved] Dialog show is does not happen immediately

Abin

I have a sever client application and in the beginning client loads data from server. I have a dialog showing status of getting data from server (has progress bar). But when I call the function the dialog appears with no contents in it with white background and suddenly changes to completed status.

@void SystemScreen::loadServerData()
{
qDebug() << Q_FUNC_INFO << "Invoked";

if (NULL != mpDataManagerDlg)
{
    qDebug() << Q_FUNC_INFO << "show progres screen";
    mpDataManagerDlg->showScreen();
}

loadData();

qDebug() << Q_FUNC_INFO << "Exits";

}

void SystemScreen::loadData()
{
qDebug() << Q_FUNC_INFO << "Invoked";

if (NULL != mpDataManager)
{
    mpDataManager->loadDataFromServer();
}

qDebug() << Q_FUNC_INFO << "Exits";

}@

I feel that dialog is displayed only after loadData() function is completed. Is there any alternative to do this?

I used a timer to start @QTimer::singleShot(100, this, SLOT(loadData()));@ But then I have some trouble in getting data. ie data is empty if I read suddenly.

Hi,

Try to put
@
qApp->processEvent();
@

Somewhere in your code, i had the same problem with my progress bar and this line works for me.
